Description
The Milwaukee M12™ 1/4 in. Cordless Ratchet delivers powerful, compact performance tailored for automotive mechanics, maintenance professionals, and technicians working in tight, confined spaces. This tool-only version weighs just 1.5 lbs and measures 10.8 inches long, making it an ultra-portable solution for fastening tasks that demand both precision and productivity.
Driven by a 12V brushed motor, the ratchet produces up to 30 ft-lbs of torque and a top speed of 250 RPM, giving you the performance of a pneumatic ratchet—without the limitations of air hoses or compressors. Its low-profile head enhances access in engine bays and other tight spaces, while the reinforced steel housing provides rugged durability on tough job sites.
Backed by REDLINK™ Intelligence and REDLITHIUM™ battery technology (battery sold separately), the tool ensures optimized performance, protection from overload, and longer runtime.
